The sun was out this afternoon, and so were the volunteers! We tried to concentrate on the dogs who have not been out for a while, as adding photos to their Facebook albums draws attention and with any luck this will result in an adoption or two.
As ever there were many distractions; people wishing to abandon their dogs, and sadly the arrival of yet more ex chasse dogs. The three new arrivals have obviously been “lost” for some time. All three, now named after German cities as they look so much like the recent arrival Hanover, are very thin. One of them is badly injured and is under under transfusion at the vets, awaiting an operation tomorrow. Bonn and Cologne are in the cat house being fed little and often, and we hope that they will pull through. Here is Bonn, a lovely gentle female who is in a skeletal condition. You will understand when I say that hunters are not my favourite people right now.
Hunters in any country make me wild with anger – but, if you read my post yesterday on Facebook from that amazing lady in Spain who goes to the hunters’ killing station to try to save the pregnant mothers and pups from being hanged, throats slit and then set fire to……….. makes French hunters look like angels! I am unable to understand the mentality of these cowardly human beings who attack defenceless creatures and small children too……..there are no words to describe it.
